Apologia Conference for Home School Moms

Someone from the conference planning committee must have been secretly videotaping my life. How did they know that I needed just this kind of help -- not with curriculum, I've got that. But with how to do it all!? How to be wife, mother, caretaker, medical transporter, chef, maid, social worker, teacher and a woman. In addition to all of the above, I've got to start generating some income to supplement our meager disability income. God must know that this kind of pressure will bring out the gifts that are hidden deep in my soul. That's the only way I can look at it otherwise I'd probably snap from the pressure. In that vein, it's time for me to start writing again, on a regular basis, and getting paid as Dr. Kaggwa, my favorite Professor from Howard University would say. Anyway, if you are feeling remotely close to the way I'm feeling, maybe you want to attend this conference. P.S. As you can see here, Ayinde is having a meltdown as we "pose for the picture."

APOLOGIA LIVE CONFERENCE FOR HOMESCHOOL MOMS

Apologia is pleased to announce the first Apologia LIVE Conference for Homeschool Moms. The event will be held February 27-28, 2009 at the Westin Hotel near the Baltimore-Washington airport .

Music lessons ... soccer practice ... standardized testing … laundry ... lesson plans ... grocery shopping … curricula decisions ... bills ... toddlers ... teenagers ... bickering ... phonics ... vacuuming ... SAT prep ... fractions ... more laundry ... algebra ... diapers ... cooking ... college applications ... cleaning …It's easy to lose sight of the eternal in the midst of the demands of family life and homeschooling.

As the year progresses and the days grow shorter and darker, the to-do list seems to grow longer. Pressures and responsibilities mount. Discouragement can set in. Don't lose heart! February is the perfect time to reflect and regroup. A time to remember that Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world.” A time to reflect on Paul's words: “Walk as children of the Light.” And a time to ponder the Gospel of John that reminds us Jesus is “the Light that shines in the darkness.”
